so I watch TV shows while sailing the high seas and started watching season 2 of squid game. or so I thought.
apparently somebody uploaded squid game The challenge in place of season 2. and I was confused why it was in English and why the previous characters didn't show up. but I thought maybe this was just some kind of weird. gotcha that they were doing. posing it as a TV show now and fooling contestants into thinking they were getting booted off the show but instead getting killed in the background.
so I'm watching this whole first episode biting my nails waiting for the ball to drop here at waiting for someone to realize that people are actually getting killed and not just paintballed. I open up the second episode of season 2 and find out that I really am watching an actual reality TV show and not squid game.
I was anxious the whole time for no reason and I was watching actual people on an actual show. I feel so dumb LOL
TL;DR: watched squid game challenge instead od squid game season 2, thinking it was some funky plot twist like a dumbass
